BOOK OF THE DAY: WITHOUT A SPARK by GEORGE BERGER


by George Berger



BOOK DESCRIPTION
Small towns sometimes hold the biggest secrets.

Kevin should know; attending college in sleepy little Mud River, he's got plenty of secrets of his own. None of them, however, can explain why he and his co-ed roommate are being framed for ecoterrorism. Untangling that mystery would probably be easy, if his personal, professional, and love lives didn't keep getting in the way.

He's sure common sense and reason will prevail, and that his actual innocence will see him through. When dead bodies start turning up, however, he knows the government might well throw reason to the wind...

Without A Spark is a 50,000-word / 210-page novel about life, love, ecoterrorism, the people who commit it--and the people who take the blame.



AUTHOR BIO
A slightly misanthropic curmudgeon with an infrequent penchant for dark humor, George Berger has perpetrated a body of genre-defying fiction that stands as mute and terrifying testimony to the triumph of emotion over reason.

His first novel, Mendacities, is a dystopian adventure novel praised by reviewers for its "wry and authentic voice", "worst title ever", and "arty-farty pretentious" cover. Following its underwhelming non-success, he released a quirky almost-romantic novella, Stanley And His Sword, which received heady praise for its not-quite erotica sex scenes and unusually sympathetic depiction of ninjas.

His second novel, Without A Spark, became available on Amazon in October 2011. Drawing on his real-life experience as an occasional domestic terrorism suspect (it was all a misunderstanding... honest), it's a gripping thriller about love and ecoterrorism.

When not writing books that next-to-nobody actually reads, he serves as a freelance intelligence analyst, tinkers with mostly vintage computers, thwarts terrorism, collects books, and thinks up exciting but untrue things to add to his various biographies. He is owned by a cat, rides an antique bicycle, and likes to cook.
